Derek,

Maybe you should dig deeper in this magic faq :)
I found the last question [1] interesting :
It is about determining the prefix used in the source document, you may be able to stock the sql prefix in a variable and use it in your match.

Interestingly, one of the examples on identifying elements by
namespace, where there is more than one namespace present,
is written by Jeni Tennison, who is certainly one of the gurus of
XSLT - she simply uses prefixes in this example:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d7594e1096 (just as well she is not working with Cocoon!)

and this example:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d7594e655 by David Carlisle also suggests using prefixes in the source
document to ensure a stylesheet works - which we cannot
do because we seemingly have no control over how the SQL
Transformer creates the output (ito of keeping prefixes)
So... no joy yet ito practical examples, but I will look as and when I have time.... if anyone else has a link to specific examples, I would appreciate it.

Hello,

You may find more examples on the issue on XSLT Questions and Answers [1].
Great resource for XSLT, it may help.

Baptiste.

Grzegorz OK; maybe that is what I was asking - where are these "standard
techniques" -
I have not come across any such examples in my years of working with
XSLT
and have never before had problems of the sort that are happening now.
Any pointers, apart from those to the spec (which is not an easy
document at the
best of times ;-)

Can you recommend a tutorial or other info for prefix-independent
XSLT?

I'm not sure if such tutorial would exist because if you write
stylesheets using standard techniques they are prefix-independent. You
make your stylesheet relying on namespace prefix if you use name()[1]
function instead of local-name()[2].

Even if you reference elements in stylesheet using prefix it's defined
in that stylesheet _locally_. It means that you could use different prefixes (pointing to the same namespace, of course) in processed XML
and XSL stylesheet and it should work.

I think it's crucial to understand that prefix is defined locally and
is not part of element's name but only element's expanded name.
